Hensley1 and John E. Randall2 ABSTRACT Five species of Asterorhombus are currently recognized, A. b/eekeri, A. osculus, A. annulatus, A. intermedius, and A. fijiensis. A new species, Asterorhombus filifer, is described from 19 specimens. It is easily separated from A. bleekeri, A. osculus, and A. annulatus by its palmate gill-rakers and its detached and longer first dorsal-fin ray. It is distinguished from A. fijiensis by less body depth, longer first dorsal-fin ray on the average, simpler membrane on this ray, narrower interorbital width, and both eyes usually with one tentacle (vs. 1-9 tentacles on upper eye only). Asterorhombus fijiensis and A. filifer are the only species of the genus with males having a wider interorbital than females. Asterorhombus filifer most closely resembles A. intermedius, which differs in having a longer first dorsal ray, smooth edge on the membrane of this ray, usually more lateral-line scales, and males with greater interorbital width. Asterorhombus filifer is the most wide-ranging species of the genus, extending from the western Indian Ocean to the Flawaiian and Society islands, and is the only species of Asterorhombus occurring on the Pacific Plate. 1) Department of Marine Sciences, University of Puerto Rico, Box 9013, Mayagiiez, PR 00681-9013, USA. 2) Bishop Museum, 1525 Bernice St., Honolulu, HI 96817-2704, USA.

The original description of this subspecies is brief and the validity of the taxon had not been investigated, despite its inclusion in subsequent short notes and lists. Our examination of the new material and the type series of A. aspi- los praeteritus reveals that this taxon clearly differs from the members of the genus Arnoglossus in having a well-defined in- terorbital space and split hypurals. It differs subtly from A. aspilos (Bleeker, 1851) in appearance, although both taxa closely resemble each other in most counts and proportional measurements. Arnoglossus aspilos praeteritus is herein redescribed and reassigned as a valid species of the genus Engyprosopon, viz., E. praeteritus. This species differs from other species of Engyrposopon in having a series of dark blotches on the dorsal and anal fins and a pair of small black blotches on the caudal fin, and by lacking sexual differences in morphology and coloration.

  • Early Ontogeny and Systematics of Bothidae, Pleuronectoidei
    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 60(1): 192-212,1997 EARLY ONTOGENY AND SYSTEMATICS OF BOTHIDAE, PLEURONECTOIDEI Atsushi Fukui ABSTRACT Of the 20 bothid genera, larvae of the following 16 genera are presently known: Taeniop- settinae, (1) Taeniopsella, (2) Engyophrys, (3) Trichopsetta; Bothinae, (4) Parabothus, (5) Tosarhombus, (6) Crossorhombus, (7) Engyprosopon, (8) Bothus, (9) Grammatobothus, (10) Asterorhombus, (11) Psellina, (12) Lophonectes, (13) Arnoglossus, (14) Monolene, (15) Laeops, (16) Chascanopsetta, This study reviews the early ontogeny and systematics of bothids of the world. A cladistic analysis of 16 characters results in 25 equally parsimonious trees. A strict consensus tree for these 25 trees is shown. It has resolved two monophyletic groups and unresolved polytomy at basal nodes. The two monophyletic groups indicate that (1) Asterorhombu,\' and Engyprosopon except sp.2 of the subfamily Bothinae are sister group for the subfamily Taeniopsettinae, (2) Arnoglossus and Engyprosopon is not monophyletic, and (3) Taeniopsetta, Engyophrys, and Trichopsetta of the subfamily Taeniopsettinae are monophyletic. Fishes of the family Bothidae, suborder Pleuronectoidei, are very diverse, being comprised of 20 genera in two subfamilies, four in Taeniopsettinae and 16 in Bothinae (Amaoka, 1969; Ahlstrom et aI., 1984), The larvae of this family have a transparent, extremely compressed, body. The dorsal fin begins anterior to the eye, its second ray being elongated. The pelagic larvae are the largest among the pleuronectoid fishes, e.g., Chascanopsetta lu- gubris with 120-mm larvae, Many studies have been made on bothid larvae, e.g" Amaoka (1964, 1970, 1971a, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1976), Futch (1977), and Hensley (1977).

The situation is most critical for a large clade of spiny-finned fishes, traditionally referred to as percomorphs, whose uncertain relationships have plagued ichthyologists for over a century.

A new species, Asterorhombus filifer, is described from 19 specimens. It is easily separated from A. bleekeri, A. osculus, and A. annulatus by its palmate gill-rakers and its detached and longer first dorsal-fin ray. It is distinguished from A. fijiensis by less body depth, longer first dorsal-fin ray on the average, simpler membrane on this ray, narrower interorbital width, and both eyes usually with one tentacle (vs. 1-9 tentacles on upper eye only).
